About Belonging Resident Company
The Belonging Resident Company (BRC) is an exciting new dance/theater troupe hosted by the Othering and Belonging Institute. This group of passionate storytellers and changemakers made their debut at the Othering and Belonging conference 2024.
Their purpose? To amplify and celebrate the Institute's frameworks through movement, poetry, spoken word, and playback theater. Directed by Sarah Crowell with Sangita Kumar and Julia McKeown, this year’s inaugural group is a colorful garden of folks ages 19 - 60. They are UC Berkeley students, dancers, folks who thought they were retired dancers, filmmakers, theater directors, professors, nonprofit leaders, writers, somatic healers, therapists, authors, musicians, and poets. They are youth development workers, diversity, equity and inclusion trainers, dreamers and weavers of belonging in all aspects of their lives.
